Paternity Testing

Paternity testing requires highly discriminatory STR markers, such as those sets recommended by the international standards ESS and CODIS.

Paternity testing requires highly discriminatory STR markers, such as those sets recommended by the international standards ESS and CODIS. Additional information is often obtained using Y-chromosomal STR markers, but typing X-chromosomal STR markers can be of equal importance, especially in deficiency cases where there is no DNA sample from one or both parents available.

The Investigator 24plex QS, ESSplex SE QS and HDplex assays, featuring highly informative autosomal marker sets, are at the heart of our paternity testing workflow. Further discriminatory power is added by the Investigator Argus X-12 QS and Argus Y-12 QS Kits, which cover X- and Y-chromosomal STR markers. With our excellent sample preparation instruments and chemistry, and these high-quality, validated products, your facility will be prepared for even the most difficult cases.
